La'el Collins?

[links18]

Possible cap casualty? Resign Fleming, save a little dough?

Meh, they both scrubs. I'll see if Collins can swing back to the inside.

He just got a big bump to 8.5m base salary because he hit playing time incentives but I think he is worth it

Flemming is trash fish in comparison

This place got what it wanted with him at RT. Live with it.

Nah, I'd keep him for his final year.

I'd expect his play to improve since it's a contract year and hopefully gain a 3rd or 4th round pick for the 2021 draft by letting him walk in free agency next year.

Cap casualty?

Usually a cap casualty is actually cutting a player to get under the cap.

He was fine and much improved when Columbo took over.

 

[Stash]

I'm keeping him, but I'm also open to reshuffling the offensive line and flipping Collins and Conner Williams at left guard and right tackle.

He may not be worth what he's making at right tackle, but could be at left guard. And Williams may lack the strength for guard but may have the feet and athletic ability for right tackle.

I'm not ready to rule it out.

 

[MeAgain]

I for one hope that the New OC lines him up as a tight end or out wide and see if he got moves...Kellen has been known to call such plays.

 

[CATCH17]

I'm all for replacing him. The guy makes a lot of mental mistakes.

With that said.. His best football is still in front of him. He is only 25 years old.

 

[Cowboysheelsreds053]

Put Collins back at his natural position. How hard is this, it's not rocket science.

I like this, but if it were up to me I'm replacing RT with a vet and try to deal Williams or keep as cheap depth. Hope he proves me wrong, but I think Williams is soft.

I like it... But, you make too much sense for the Cowboys coaches to figure that out.

I just don't think he's a guard. I think he's a tackle.

I just don't think he's a guard. I think he's a tackle.

He's built like a guard, though.

For which Practice Squad? Detroit's or Dallas's?!

 

[tm1119]

I wish I could give a homework assignment to this board to actually watch the rest of the NFL....watch the majority of the RT’s in the nfl and then get back to me with how “bad” Collins is. Is he perfect? No way. Does he commit bonehead penalties from time to time? Sure. But I’d be willing to bet he’s still a top 10 RT in the NFL.

 

[CATCH17]

He was struggling at guard before we moved him.

Maybe he would be better there now but Ron Leary was miles better then him.

He was OK, better than Williams, Sue, or even Cooper. Leary's not a fair comparison because he's a beast.

Edit- Can you imagine if we kept Leary and Parnell?

I just really question his football smarts.


Physically he is awesome but my gosh does he let guys through sometimes because he has no clue.

Good point. Picking up the stunts on the inside might be a problem.
